The recent wave of publicity surrounding sites such as myspace.com has led a Congressman to propose that such social networking sites be prohibited on school library and public library computers. Educators and librarians are fighting the bill, noting that it restricts the educational use of such websites.
It should be noted that if this law passes, blogger.com would be one of the sites blocked on school computers, meaning sites like this one and Room 210 News would not be available on any school computers.
